Knot
Boards
A knot board displays nautical knots that replicate those tied
by the seaman of early sailing ships. Each knot board here
includes a select combination of authentic nautical knots from
“The Ashley Book of Knots”. All of our knot boards are
high quality. Sailors devoted much of their idle time to the
tying of nautical knots and to creating many beautiful
designs. Most of the knowledge of nautical knot tying was
handed down from man to man, and from generation to generation.
Designers use hemp and nylon rope and seize with thread to
replicate the exact materials and methods used previously (and
presently) by seamen. Each knot is identified with a brass
plate. Once tied, the knots are displayed in the traditional
mahogany shadow box frame with brass-finished corners. These
are all sealed to preserve and protect the inner items.
